Rarely has such a call to action has been more relevant or urgent than right now.

While the focus of our committee is mostly local, this is a time when we all need to participate in national issues.

​​ The press is called the "fourth estate" because of the vital role it plays in our representative democracy to inform the citizenry and to help keep our government honest. In this era of "alternative facts" from the Republican administration, it's especially important that we support credible news media and stay informed. This starts by subscribing to and reading our local media.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has been through a long run of cut backs, but it still has a strong investigative journalism department that we need to support financially via our online or digital subscriptions.​National newspapers with excellent investigative journalists covering government include the New York Times and the Washington Post. It is becoming a patriotic duty to subscribe to newspapers like these so we still have reporters who ask our leaders difficult questions and demand answers on our behalf.

NPR is another excellent source for accurate and substantive journalism. Please support our local public radio station WXXI.

​﻿Welcome to the website of the Penfield Democratic Committee

​The Democratic Party puts good government and fiscal responsibility first. We believe that government can be a vehicle for change, for making the community a better place to live, and for helping all people attain the American Dream, without regard for race, ethnicity, gender, economic status or sexual orientation.

The Penfield Democratic Committee is comprised of Penfield residents who are registered Democrats working to restore two party government to the Town of Penfield.
